No DJ. ; 9-1/2" Tall 121pp. Smooth boards ivory lettering on the brown spine. COMPUTERS. "This concise book combines the usefulness of an introductory text with the worth of a reference source book for professionals and teachers. It examines the applications of non-standard logics to artificial intelligence and relates these applications to main-stream computing and cognitive science. It strikes new ground linking the somewhat informal and philosophical books with the highly mathematical texts which are often too technical for the computer scientist. Each chapter is totally self-contained catering thereby for the reader who may only be concerned with a selection of the topics covered. The author adopts a semantic perspective throughout writing directly for the computing reader with examples and illustrations selected from artificial intelligence and computing. " Index.

"People are able to learn a new neighborhood by wandering round it and keeing their eyes open. We take this ability for granted but computationally it is subtle and complex. This Research Note presents an original theory of how a robot could be programmed to learn a neighborhood from seeing it and how knowledge of a neighborhood can be represented used and improved. Particularly notable features are the uniform treatment of positional and shape information the varieties of partial information which can be handled separately and the close integration of the representation with the processes that work on it. The theory has been tested in a running program whose successes and failures are described. The book contains a discussion of related work in AI and psychology and analysis of certain mathematical aspects of the problem and a discussion of the scope and limits of the theory with suggestions for further reserach.

"This book is intended for engineers managers and educators concerned with the analysis or design of shafts beams plates and shells. It begins where the simple stress and strain formula books leave off. It attempts to fill the gap between handbook formulas and general-purpose computer programs. Here the information essential for a rapid static stability or dynamic analysis of a beam plate or shell of variable or composite cross section with arbitrary mechanical or thermal loading and with any type of support or foundation can be found. In the case of the dynamic analysis not only can the response to steady-state and transient loading be found but the formulas provide natural frequencies and mode shapes as well. The material can be elastic or viscoelastic. Damping mechanisms include proportional and nonproportional viscous damping.

He discusses new media's reliance on conventions of old media such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera and shows how new media works create the illusion of reality address the viewer and represent space. He shows how categories and forms unique to new media such as interface and database work with the more familiar conventions to make possible a new kind of aesthetic. He uses existent concepts from film theory art history literary theory and computer science and also develops new theoretical concepts such as cultural interface spatial montage and cinegratography.

Readers are repeatedly guided to an appreciation for the physical meaning that underlies the matrix and coding operations presented. Even the matrix algebra review is offered in the context of a very idealized simple structural system rather than as a sterile set of mathematical rules. With regard to the arrangement of subject matter the concepts of equilibrium and compatibility are introduced first allowing for the solution of statically derterminate structures only. The range of probllems that can be solved is then extended by developing stiffness and flexibility relationships.

No attempt has been made to deal in detail with the design and construction of sewage treatment plants. We realise that this book has a bias towards the chemistry of sewage treatment for which we make no apology as this aspect has quite often been relegated to a minor role. Those we had in mind whrn writing the book were formen working managers and young assistants on sewage works public health inspectors and students of civil municipal and sanitary engineering. Two additional chapters have been included in this second edition one dealing with the need for flow measurement in the treatment of sewage and the general principles involved and the other gives examples of the types of chemical and associated calculations connected with sewage treatment. Advantage hs been taken to introduce SI units wherever possible. " . Index. 20 Tables. 27 Figures. . Ann Arbor Science Publishers hardcover

"Restrictive ordinances in landmark and historic districts tax incentives for rehabilitation projects and the growing popularity of the preservation movement have increased the demand for new work of equal quality to that of the existing building. Projects of varying size and success - both complete and incomplete - serve as examples to illustrate innovative and imaginative responses to situations where the combination of old not-so-old and new architecture was required. This book offers practical solutions to real situations. In each case the practical aspects of contextual architectural design are emphasized over aesthetic issues to better distinguish how particular design problems may be confronted and solved. Each example is illustrated to help in understandng how solutions were achieved. The work is divided into three sections with each addressing a distinct approach to combining old and new architecture: additions to buildings; altering the original; and new construction. The book is organized so that information on approaches to a particular type of problem or building type can be easily located. " . Index to professional firms. Subject index. Profusely illustrated with b/w photos and plans plus an 8-page full-color photo section. . John Wiley & Sons hardcover
